The ground harvesting of small fruits, such as olives, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, or chestnuts, has a significant impact on production costs, especially in terms of labor. It should also be noted that, when harvesting olives, fallen fruits must not be left in direct contact with the ground, as they are subject to rapid deterioration. The use of plastic nets has proven to be the fastest, most practical, effective, and economical system for this type of application. All you need to do is spread them out at the foot of the trees shortly before the fruit ripens and falls, and then collect them for harvesting.
TENAX PLURIMA is a lightweight, durable square mesh net with reinforced edges, manufactured using TENAX's exclusive process of extruding and stretching thermoplastic polymers. Thanks to its reinforced mesh, which is stronger than that of common extruded nets, it is tear-resistant and, thanks to its UV stabilization treatment, guarantees long life and reusability.
TENAX's experience in extruded nets for collecting fruit from the ground began in the early 1960s with the TENAX OLINET net, designed for harvesting olives.
